...To Lay Down One's Life For One's Friend...

•Cpl. Burness Britt was leading a group of 10 Marines through a wheat field when there was an explosion. He does not know exactly how far the explosion occurred, and it could have been only a few yards away. He was thrown into the air, and landed with a thump in the field, a searing hot pain raging in his neck. He had been hit by a huge piece of shrapnel from a bomb and a major artery was cut. Britt was immediately medevac’d to Ramstein Airbase, Germany where he made a full recovery.
